assbot: It says some pelt-wearin' trapper, some stinkin' bean-suckin' possum skinner, he's gonna collect that reward money.
mircea_popescu: there's all the unannounced ethereum etc deaths,
mircea_popescu: there's all the moolah mcxnow breakoutgaming moopay etc blowups
mircea_popescu: well these'd be the clean closures
ben_vulpes: coulda sworn something died before that
BingoBoingo: First atc, then X-BT, nao WoL
ben_vulpes: another one bites the dust
assbot: WarOfLife (S.WOL), October 2014 Statement (closing) pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> ben_vulpes: speaking of rockets and small arms, familiar with american invention, 'gyrojet' ? <<< isn't this really that french invention ? the rocket powered grenade that regularly gets stopped in branches etc and kills the shooter ?
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> nevermind that the sane person will never answer that question in a way useful to the questioner. << yeah but then if they get in an altercation with that person later not answering usefully usually makes the difference between a dismissed case and a felony convicion.
mircea_popescu: <fluffypony> Beauty << looking for beauty in la ? what, like on the street ?! you want beauty, go to burbank.
mircea_popescu: Level 2: 0 via 1 connections lol da fuck does that work
ben_vulpes: trajectory tweaks for ballistics or sniper action, though...
ben_vulpes: corners attractive to purchasers in urban combat are unrealistic
asciilifeform: (picture a 'question mark' shape. easy to keep turn radius wide if there is room)
asciilifeform: depends on radius of turn
ben_vulpes: i find it hard to believe that corners can be turned with the control forces effected by mems systems
asciilifeform not involved with this
asciilifeform: there's a 'golden toilet' vendor claiming to be churning out the proverbial 'bullet that goes around corners' on precisely this principle
ben_vulpes: i am a child of my time
asciilifeform: eh this was a vietnam-era mechanical thing.
asciilifeform: tiny rocket, ejected from what amounts to a flare pistol - goes through, e.g., a truck
ben_vulpes: nevermind that the sane person will never answer that question in a way useful to the questioner.
ben_vulpes: "please list all people with whom you cohabitated or were in a relationship for the last two years so that we can ask them if you're going to go shoot them"
ben_vulpes: this is similar to the canadian firearms protocol, where when during the process of acquisition they ask one to
ben_vulpes: interesting thing about toy rockets
asciilifeform: yes, no shortage of folks willing to ride toy rocket.
asciilifeform reads the logs and finds the very pertinent unix-on-z80 atrocity
ben_vulpes was working on the big engine handling license for a bit
asciilifeform: anyone who wants to ride that - is welcome to...
asciilifeform doubts we have anything larger than a toy rocket here in this box
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> decimation kinda what we're trying recently. << oh hey we're paying people nao? who's this "we" and hey jurov what's the story on an addy, eh?
BingoBoingo: Well, old. From the days where scrypt was to many the anti-GPU pill, and delivered BTC ASIC were about a year away
asciilifeform refrains from launching into rant re: how you can actually fit 10x more gates in fpga if you start 'cheating' by using secret data re: the internal layout, and how any system which offers this capability is actually telling lies when advertised with its highest-level intended abstractions as the correct ones.
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: first unrolled design on spartan... and the only one << wait which 'spartan' actually had room for unrolled sha2 ?
punkbot: BingoBoingo: No valid deeds found, try again. (dupe: 1)
BingoBoingo: Oh. punkbot no longer has if bingo then fuck you code
Vexual plams a carrot to fluffypony

Vexual: what about steadicam tat?
ben_vulpes: unless its happening to grapes

assbot: BlackHat Toolz - Black Hat Marketing Scripts / Software
mircea_popescu: http://www.blackhattoolz.com/ << lmao check out all the windoze toolz!
assbot: Mircea Popescu (@trilema) on Twitter
mircea_popescu: https://twitter.com/trilema << turns out i had a spare twitter lmao.
kakobrekla: unless you improve the math how sha is calculated, not really
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla i can appreciate this view. nevertheless, from a businessman persepective, the people who don't give a shit, it's one year, five months.
kakobrekla: yes, but the math is the same
kakobrekla: and the only one.
mircea_popescu: i spent 30+ years on being me too.
kakobrekla: at this point he already spent 1year + on this
mircea_popescu: http://bitbet.us/bet/450/bitfurys-asic-will-work-with-power-1/ << th\eir first thing.
kakobrekla: fury already spent some years on this
decimation: at any rate, I don't think we will see "steps" like we saw from gpu to asic, for example
kakobrekla: firstly sha cant be endlessly optimized and my educated guess, better than sexy gingers, is that its pretty much as good as it will get
mircea_popescu: in any case time shall tell.
decimation: heh I bet they are implementations of the original gpu mining code
mircea_popescu: less money has gone into design than into production, imagine that. with stable silicon producers it's more like, 99% goes into design
mircea_popescu: they're currently the product of basically copy paste.
decimation: agreed. who knows about the existing designs, but I doubt that massive gains are available there either (more than 10x)
mircea_popescu: heck, even intel pretty much scrapped the smaller-print plans
mircea_popescu: decimation nah, the gains are likely to come from bettere design not from better substrate going forward
thestringpuller: ;;later tell nubbins` did the poster ship okay? it never crossed over the border ~_~
decimation: so it's highly dubious that a 16nm process is going to be massively better
decimation: at any rate, I think some of the miners that have delivered were working on 20 nm stuff
mircea_popescu: the shit techcrunch will publish these days seriously...
decimation: if that's from their copy, then that nudges the probability of scam up a few orders of magnitude
mircea_popescu: hard to judge. 90% of new miners are scams.
assbot: Bitcoin Brothers Aim To Disrupt Bitcoin Mining With New, More Powerful, Supercomputers | TechCrunch
cazalla: is this bs? http://techcrunch.com/2014/11/02/bitcoin-brothers-aim-to-disrupt-bitcoin-mining-with-new-more-powerful-supercomputers/ "Bitcoin Brothers is working with TSMC to manufacture its proprietary 3D 16nm FinFET ASICs"
assbot: Bitcoin Startups May Get Transitional Licence | Qntra.net
cazalla: http://qntra.net/2014/11/bitcoin-startups-may-get-transitional-licence/ there is nothing much else going on today so no complaints!
mircea_popescu: pretty much everytihng that happens here is the blueprint for large swaths of future,
mircea_popescu: decimation kinda what we're trying recently.
decimation: no, but this 'tardation does suggestion something amusing: you could easily destroy most open source projects simply by paying a competent coder or two to fork it and rebuild it rationally
mircea_popescu: i like how people can't quite bring themselves to come out with it plain, "i'm invested in this thing bitcoin is gonna kill so...!!!"
mircea_popescu: "Tip me via gittip." having nothing to do with any of this, obviously.
decimation: yeah you see, he "doesn't care" about bitcoin, and beside how is he going to have his pension benefits for life?
mircea_popescu: this delusion of choice is perhaps the most amusing part of the fiat world. he only sucks the cock if he wants to, you see.
mircea_popescu: decimation o look at that, world wants to "opt in" or "opt out" of bitcoin.
decimation: libertard/socialist types definitely detect that bitcoin menaces them, but they rarely come up with the right words to describe the threat
assbot: The Future of Payments and Open Source Support | Armin Ronacher's Thoughts and Writings
decimation: lol here's a blog from some guy who was offended by the scammer tip4commit guy, but he vents his hatred at ... bitcoin http://lucumr.pocoo.org/2014/11/2/payments-in-the-future/
cazalla: but i poop from there.. don't see the appeal tbh
decimation: it's fair to say that the 'nexus' of sovereignty in the us is the supreme court, by default. congress and the elected executives refuse to deal with simmering issues, so they tend to end up in the court
decimation: that's true
mircea_popescu: singapore is tiny
mircea_popescu: well, the us also has an unrepresentative congress.
decimation: in the us that's exactly what would/has happened, on a variety of fronts
